Elegant

This polish goes in smooth with rich color and a subtle shimmer. I did have to apply 2-3 layers for it to pop the way that I wanted it to, but once applied the polish is very durable. Gives my nails a very polished, elegant look.

Everyday nail color

I love this brand and the quality of nail polish. This is a beautiful nail polish. It’s long lasting and doesn’t chip easily. It also dries quickly. The design of the bottle is really great too! This is a perfect sheer natural color on the nail that I can wear all the time.

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I received this gel polish for free from Essie for my honest review. It's a nice natural color to use to give a soft finish.
